[@Jordan-jy7pg]

I just got this keyboard very recently. It’s a great keyboard. If you’re like me and cannot make up your mind no matter how much time you spend looking... just get this keyboard. I have no complaints, seriously it’s a great keyboard!

Hey Jordon.. How is your keyboard holding up?.. Also I was looking for a keyboard that supports 3 connectivity modes: Wired/ Bluetooth/ 2.4ghz dongle wireless. Does this support those 3 modes. ?

[@reneirioquimbo8537]

@@acknelspence7587 They have a variation that supports all 3 modes and one that supports 2 modes (Wired/Bluetooth only). In my country its about 10$ more for the wireless 2.4ghz to be added on.

I just got this keyboard and I migrated from a full size and I am already In love

[@pandoraruh]

Watched your vid as well other vids reviewing this keyboard. After looking at keyboards with similar form factors like the Gamakay RK61, the Womier, and the Royal Kludge RK71, I decided to go with this as my first mechanical keyboard. Since I'm not really savvy enough to know the ins and outs of keyboard feeling or modding, my review of it will be very short. It's great, like really good. For the price, it's a reliable keyboard to choose as your first. First of all, the keycaps. They aren't anything special from anything I've seen from other tech reviewers but they are decent. The RGB lighting does shine through them, so if you game in the dark, like taking setup pics, or just like seeing a lot of colors (ofc, the RGB increases your accuracy by like, 69%). On that note, let's talk about the RGB. As said in the video, they really are vibrant and have a range of options. Lastly, the switches and stabilizers. Do note that I bought this keyboard with factory brown switches. They have been great for learning how to touch-type (which is actually quite challenging). As for the stabilizers, they're okay. However, I am planning on modding this keyboard soon with new switches, keycaps, and stabilizers. However, if you don't plan on modding it and just want to use it stock, it doesn't disappoint and will serve you well. Sorry this review took long to read. I don't usually write these because it does feel redundant. However, I wanted to get my thoughts out there about this amazing keyboard. Again, thank you for reading and see you on the next review.

[@pigsdojigz7570]

Love your channel and your reviews! Hope your channel keeps growing. Amazing review!

DAAAANG I WAS WAITING FOR THIS BRO!

[@altaeris8258]

Bought this like two months ago and I love it! I had some troubles cause I'm italian so the layout is different and I can't do some stuff like these symbols >< but it's really nice. Fun fact: the keycaps puller that you had it didn't came with mine. Mine had a puller that was different and all black, so when I pulled one keycap it scratched black on it. That was very disappointing, but happily they changed it with that type

[@ntle7245]

hey! did you have any problems with any pinging noise on your keyboard?

[@altaeris8258]

@@ntle7245 can you be more specific about this pinging noise? I can't understand what it should be

[@ntle7245]

@@altaeris8258 Ping refers to a residual ringing sound heard after a keyswitch with metal springs inside has been struck. it’s called spring ping and it sounds like a metallic noise that comes from the switches.. unfortunately my first mechanical keyboard had that and it was unbearable so i had to return it. I was looking into the RK61 so i was wondering if it had that. Thanks for replying (hope the explanation helped)

[@ksavage681]

The switches are swappable on the offset cable version. I got the tools and 3 spare switches with mine. I got the blue switch, blue backlight version. No regrets.

[@SumanNath25]

Some of the cons of the keyboard are : 1. There is no layer for the escape key so any combination with ctrl and ` or ~ is not possible. 2. There is not indicator for the layer activation so you will not know if the key 1 is F1. 3. There is no indicator for arrow mode so you will not know if the key "?" is up arrow. 4. There is no indicator for the scroll lock. --- Otherwise the keyboard is good. And I found that position for pgup/down/ home etc are best in this keyboard for fast typing.

If you’re planning to use the rk84 wirelessly the receiver they include is terrible; it only reaches from two feet away from the keyboard and it misses lots of key presses. If you want to use it wirelessly you’ll have to use Bluetooth.

@@urslim No, but Outemu switches are at the low end of mechanical switches (I think) so there’s much more to desire.

Five Keyboards purchased from RK, all 5 either failed immediately-froze or had to be reset(2) came missing parts(3) ceased working after less than 1 day(2) ceased working after less than 1 week (2). To top it off, all of them came with non functional keys due to bent pins in the switches. Do Not Buy These! Royal Kludge is a shoddy build family of boards commonly missing parts or shipped with bent pins. I’ve received multiple devices that have had multiple types of switches as well. Why are all of these KZbinrs endorsing them? I mod and build keyboards, Taeha should do a serious deep dive on Royal Kludge, expose the shoddy work.
